These guides also cover what's new, changed, and removed for all spells from Talents to Perks. We've condensed confusing formulas, reworded verbose tooltips, and color-coded what's being added and removed to make it easier to follow along. We've even included Patch Notes for an official explanation of the changes, as well as all blue tweets made by Blizzard devs on a class' spell changes.

A new Warlords of Draenor Alpha build is on its way. For a complete list of our past Warlords of Draenor coverage including class guides, Frostfire Ridge rare spawns, and Garrison tools, check out our WoD Content Hub.

Technical Game Designer Celestalon also tweeted the following this afternoon:

Followed by Holinka's addition:

Patch Highlights

New abilities for Garrison followers, including ones that reduce the travel time of missions.

New Elekk Plushie battle pet. According to TheCrafticus, this pet acts like a regular stuffed animal and just stares at you when summoned, and then takes a beating in combat. He also tweeted a picture of this pet, shown to the right. Elekk Plushie may be a pet from tailoring.

Inscription was updated so that all glyphs will come from non-cooldown research spells in 6.0. A full list of these spells can be found here

New Darkmoon Joker cards like Moon Joker. According to TheCrafticus, you can trade a joker for any card in the set. They are rarely made when creating a Darkmoon tarot.

While the tooltips appear to imply that you no longer have to be an engineer to use Tinkers, Jonathan LeCraft has clarified that you still have to be an Engineer. The necessity is now implied rather than stated.

New 3D armor sets for Mage, Monk, and Shaman Mythic!

New "Scenarios" have been introduced to provide guidance in old dungeons. You can see more information below.

Questing

When questing, you now have a small chance for your reward to be a rare or epic version instead. When this happens, you'll get a special loot toast (similar to what you see when you win something via a bonus roll).

Rare items are +5 ilvls higher and epic items are +10 levels higher than the base item. For example, the rare version of Frostwolf Hunting Crossbow was ilvl 515 and the epic version would be 520.

It's time for another Warlords of Draenor build update! The latest Warlords of Draenor patch notes included some major changes to Balance Druids that are reflected in today's data. As usual, take all datamining with a grain of salt and refer to patch notes for the list of official changes.

Patch Highlights

There's a special achievement for getting Warlock green fire at level 90:

Vanity items are now categorized as toys and we have a preliminary list of what will be in the toybox. We've listed the items below and organized them by type! Learn more about the toybox here.

The Encounter Journal is now twice as large for Warlords!

There is a new section in the build, called Character Upgrade Tier which includes things like Basic Combat Mechanics, Advanced Combat Mechanics, Control Mechanics, Cooldown and Area Spells, Abilities Fully Unlocked. This is likely to relate to the zone we've heard about as a place for new level 90s to have a DK-esque start zone, so that new level 90s or a returning players to not be overwhelmed by picking up all their abilities and mechanics at once.

Since there's so much news, we've split this up into two articles! Below you'll find the new achievements and spells, and in our other beta article, you'll find item highlights, icons, and more. We're also rounding up all of the Blizzard tweets on spells, which you can find here.

5:30pm EST: The PTR is now updated, we've tested how Heart of the Valorous works. Our PTR observations were getting quite lengthy, so we put them into a separate post.9am EST: PvP Designer Brian Holinka just clarified the intent behind the datamined Burst of Speed change.

Not sure what's changing for your class in Warlords? We've published a series of guides covering the changes for each class!

These articles break down what's new, changed, and removed--grouped by Talents, Glyphs, Specializations, Class Abilities, and Draenor Perks. The changes are presented in the style of the diff tool used to show spell changes for new alpha builds--green text for new, grey for removed. In addition, we've gone back to rephrase wordy spells and condense all of a spell's changes from the past month into one phrase so you can easily compare how a spell has changed from live to the latest alpha build.

These articles also include patch notes for each class as well as class-related Blue Tweets organized by topic and month.

When Warlords is playable, we'll be updating these articles with screenshots of cool spell effects and pictures of Tier armor, like we did for our Mists of Pandaria class articles.
